Her Japanese fans were stunned. Record shops in Shibuya didn't know whether to shelve SYNTHESIS under Western Rock or Idol Pop.

Yes, always blonde! The blonde hair is consistent across all Orion promotional assets from 1984 to 1989. -- Sun-mi Park Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of INRIA Rocquencourt. ------------------------------------------------------------
